Ingredients
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons dark Sesame oil, divided
- 4 4 ounces boneless pork chops, trimmed of fat
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 thin sliced green onion, optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh snipped parsley, optional
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil; add green beans, and cook until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water.
- Preheat a large skillet or grill pan to medium-high heat. Using a basting brush, coat the pan with 1/2 teaspoon Sesame oil.
- Add pork to the pan and brush sesame oil on the top of the pork.
- Sprinkle pork with salt. Allow to cook about 4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Transfer pork to a plate.
- In the same pan, add remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil with shallots and allow to cook about 3 minutes, or until the shallots are softened.
- Add mushrooms and cook about 6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan into the juices.
- Mix in green beans, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and oregano and cook 2-3 more minutes.
- Serve 3 ounces cooked pork chop with 1/4 of the green bean mixture. Spoon the remaining juices from the pan over each serving for additional flavor.
- Top with green onion and parsley, if desired.
